Profile Articles Activity

I'm a Namibian clinical psychologist and PhD student at the University of Zurich. My research explores how young people in Africa grow into adulthood, and how culture, community, and context shape their mental health and well-being. In the long run, I hope this work will inspire more meaningful ways of supporting young people and strengthening the families and communities that guide them - in Africa and beyond.
